Tanvi Sharma reached the Taipei Open 2026 badminton final on 1 August, beating 5th-seeded Huang Yu-Hsun in straight games (21-17, 21-11) in 33 minutes at Taipei Arena.

Sharma, unseeded and ranked 34th, will face Vietnam's Nguyen Thuy Linh in the championship match on 2 August.

This is her second BWF Super 300 final; she was runner-up at last year's US Open and has lost two Super 100 finals, so she aims for her first title.
